【R1】______It is more than just clothing and hairstyles that are in style one year and out of date the next. It is a whole way of living. One year people wear sunglasses on top of their heads and wear jeans and boots; they drink white wine and eat sushi at Japanese restaurants; for exercise they jog several miles a day.【R2】______Women wear long skirts; people drink expensive water from France and eat pasta at Italy restaurants; everyone seems to be exercising at health club.
【R3】______Food, music, exercise, books, movies, even names go in and out of fashion. It is almost impossible to write about specific fads because the interests that people follow can change very quickly.
In the United States, even people can be in or out. Like people in any country, Americans enjoy following the lives of celebrities: movie stars, sports heroes, famous artists, and the like.【R4】______In 1981, for example, an unknown elderly woman appeared in a TV commercial in which she looked at a very small hamburger and complained loudly, "Where is the beef?" These four words made her famous. Suddenly she appeared in magazines and newspapers and on TV shows. She was immediately popular.【R5】______In 1987 an exterminator in Dallas Texas decided that he would be very happy if he could find more customers for his small business. He needed more people to pay him to kill the insects and rats in their houses. He put an unusual advertisement in a Dallas newspaper. He offered to pay $1,000 to the person who could find the biggest cockroach. This strange offer made him suddenly famous. However, this kind of fame does not last long.【R6】______What causes such fads to come and go and why many people follow them? Although clothing designers and manufacturers influence fads in fashion because they want to make a profit, this desire for money doesn’t explain fads in other areas, such as language. For example, why have teenagers in the past twenty years used the slang words groovy or awesome in conversation instead of simply saying wonderful? According to Jack Santino, an expert in popular culture, people who follow fads are not irrational, they simply want to be part of something new and creative, and they feel good when they are part of and "in group".【R7】______It is common in any country that has strong consumer economy, e.g. Britain, Japan and Germany. However, in the United States there is an additional reason for fads: 【R8】______
A. Almost nothing in modern life escapes the influence of fashion.
B. most Americans seem to feel that something is wrong if there isn’t frequent change in their lives.
C. These people are "in".
D. These days lifestyles seem to change very fast.
E. Fads are not unique to the United States.
F. However, the next year they notice that everything has changed.
G But Americans also pay a lot of attention to people who have no special ability and have done nothing very special.
H. Such people are famous for a very short time. They are fads.
